Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed
more easily than if it is left to cool.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning
machine.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water
to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the
following products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e.g.
vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the cooktop.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing
them by hand, take care when drying them as the
enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges.
If necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner.
After cleaning, make sure that the pan supports are
correctly positioned.
To make burners work properly, ensure that pan
supports are placed in a way that the arms are centred
upon the burner as shown in the picture.
Pay attention when replacing the pan supports
in order to avoid damaging the hob top.
